How We Prep the Farm Stay For Guests

[@janetimmerman9010]

Chad, you do such great videos. It’s so enjoyable to see the animals and follow along as you two take care of the farm and your guests. The falls colors are really beautiful. Keep up the good work!!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks, it’s my pleasure 😊

[@leonafaryna7617]

Molly and Olive are looking like giant stuffed animals 🧸, so cuddly and soft! The coloured leaves are starting to look so pretty! One day………I would just love to come stay at your farmstay, God willing. 🙋🏼‍♀🤗 To everyone!

[@pimpozza]

I love Molly and Olive.. Happy Thursday, Leona.. 🌞🤗🙋🏻‍♀️🇮🇹

[@leonafaryna7617]

[@JEL66]

Thank you for sharing y'all are doing a great job there God sees all!! I would be grateful and thankful everyday to have what you have I understand it's a lot of work but it's wholesome and beautiful. Sending love and support from Florida 🌺💫💫💫

[@Journey-NB]

Chad. As a viewer I appreciate you being so open and honest about your life. But as if I was in your place I would not disclose my private life. Your farm is one of a kind, very well taken care of, animals are healthy and happy! Good job on maintaining all of this!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah it’s a balancing act. I need to talk a lot about us and our life to build up a good following of people who are interested in consistently watch but at the same time not let out too much of our personal life.

[@chinahand2383]

Very inspirational.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@chinahand2383 Aww thanks so much ☺️

[@denise5556]

Oh I didn’t know where you were! I love seeing Canada! It’s so beautiful! I live way down here in Florida! It’s still HOT! I love your farm! ❤

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Hot here too up until yesterday, starting to cool down now. Lots of leaves to clean up. 😊

[@charlesvincett84]

Olive and Molly are so cute...love them...

[@thesaucysassy]

I love your rental property❤.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Aww thanks

[@thaixgrrl]

Excellent farmhouse design and looks very comfortable and welcoming!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Glad you like it!

[@deb283028]

Positive experiences and good rapport with your guests brings repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals. You can never make another first impression, so that kind of advertising is so valuable to a starting business. Keep doing you and your efforts will pay off.

[@cindym7234]

I'm sure having a farm stay, along with a farm, and a full time job, is so much work! You both seem to get so much enjoyment out of it even though it is tiring. The changing season is so beautiful in your area. Not so much here in Texas. It has still been so hot here. Yesterday was 33°C here 😓, but in the next few days it will get cooler...finally! Our nights will get down to between 12°C to 16°C. Anything is better than a low over night temp of 30°C. I can't wait. I hope the week with your guests goes well for you. Take care! Love from Texas ❤

[@jacquelinesento425]

I just discovered your KZbin channel Tiktok brought me here and i just subscribed. I always wanted to live on a farm. Reminds me of spending summer vacations as a kid on my cousins farm. I had the best time and great memories. Im binge watching your videos this Sunday fall morning with my coffee snd its so relaxing. Love❤❤the videos.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

That is awesome! Thnx so much & welcome to the farm 😊

[@Kitty_cat2001]

I really like how you include your lovely kitties & dogs in the videos ❤Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

[@RJH_LIL]

Good morning Chad and everyone.Those birds are looking beautiful. You two are such good homesteaders.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Have a great one 👌

[@alfilkemper9240]

The USA & Canada should pass a law like Germany that makes all farms remain as farms, no developing allowed. People buying a farm must farm it!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

We really should. Every time I’m driving around I see more urban sprawl and less farms.

[@evergreenx99]

I would love working there

[@Macy8769]

Rabbits, love, cilantro, and carrot tops grow some of that

[@VintageStylebyJo]

Chad great video ❤ Everything looks beautiful 👍🤗 Its really a shame about the entire farming homesteaders 😒KZbin videos takes an enormous amount of time...ugh😞

[@Janice_1979_]

great video guys, thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving! My husband I would love to get a homestead. We have a townhouse, but we have a garden. We still grow a lot and we eat from scratch all the time. We made some pretty big changes in our family since the pandemic. I quit my job after 17 years to stay home with my 2 daughters. They love it. My husband only works and we thought we could never do it, but we did. Our priorities changed and we realized whats important.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

What’s important is that you did the best for your family and are making it work. Kudos. Growing on a small scale is fine at least you’re doing it. I bet your closer to your kids now eh, I like that. My Darlin being Filipino, I’ve learned to love how family oriented they are and I’m impressed that you understood you needed a change. Keep it going.

[@Janice_1979_]

Thanks a lot, yes the kids are very close now and have less attitude and stress since they have been home. My parents are Portuguese, so it’s like the Filipino culture too. Take care!

[@MariaBeth58]

Good for you. I'm sure it required a fair amount of changes but your kids will benefit from it for the rest of their lives.

[@Mabooton]

We wanted ( 2 persons ) to stay in your farm !!

[@karensmutny6090]

The United States also imports food from other countries. Some food comes from Canada,

[@-Poultry_Lover.]

Realy nice videos Chad! Glad i am first ❤😂🎉

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha YES!!! 👏

[@omyelia]

I would love to visit just to visit the cats (and other animals)!

[@evergreenx99]

same! I bet they’d like some pets and treats

[@Carycares1817]

Pretty fall. Employee would be nice. Darling looks so good with your dogs. Hope too someday dream home on farm. Farm stay sounds so neat. ❤ vid on to next one

[@colly1952]

I used to volonteer at our local foodbank and we had a couple of farmers who came and picked up the food that wasn't good enough to give to the people. That helped them feed their animals and helped keep the amount of garbage to a minimum for us. The animals picked the good and left the rest, which went to compost. It was a good exchange.

[@patriciarowbotham1081]

I would love to spend time with him on this farm

[@doriskuhberger8559]

Great video Chad. I always look forward to them. It is great that you share a little bit if insight about the farmstay. I pray that you will get more customers to rent it. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Blessings to you and your Darlin'. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Glad you’re enjoying, thanks 😊

[@annetteselent]

Thank you for creating this video about your farm stay. I’m happy to watch and learn as Husband and I are creating a short term rental stay on the acreage we own that’s right beside the Homestead property that we just purchased and moved to when I retired from my career as an RN. We also have 96 acres of forest with trails we are developing and looking at cabins…I think you mentioned some plans of your own in that direction. Plus…I’m looking forward to when you develop that pond you’ve spoken of as we will be making ours healthy and stocking it next year😁 So…I’m watching your journey as you are a few years ahead of us!

[@GrannySanny]

My husband prefers the tart apples over the sweet. I like the sweet ones, so you have some for everyone's taste. I love that you are preserving this old farm. Hope to make it there one day.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah I think I like having the different varieties too.

[@-Poultry_Lover.]

I am from South Africa

[@evergreenx99]

I’m from Michigan and I’d love to have a farm one day

[@benjaminwilliams3568]

That Owl you heard in the background is one of the most loud I have ever heard before. It's a Great Horned Owl. For it to be calling out in day time was a warning to other owls or its mate that a hawk or eagle is patrolling in its area of ownership. Owls Are territorial.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Amazing

[@JohnCarlo76]

Maybe you can sponsor a family member in the Philippines to work in the farm. A lot of Filipinos in the province have experience with farm animals also very hard worker.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Definitely something to consider when we start making good money.

[@pimpozza]

Fascinating vlog, Chad.. I was so interested to hear about renting out the farmhouse.. You and your darling work very hard! Hope you can employ a helper soon.. 🤞

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you joining us.

[@pamelazuill8438]

Do you ever let the rabbits out to run free on the grass?

[@mikertronprimus1]

We love your videos and your animals and your kind friendly way of explaining farm life. My wife would like me to ask you how much you charge for a week of just her and i to rent your farm-stay. We hope one day to purchase our own farm. You are so talented at building everything! We alive in Nevada USA.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Well we usually book guests through Airbnb, all the info on the property is in the listing. We charge $350/night, $450/night on Friday & Saturday. We offer a 20% discount for week long bookings. With the exchange it would work out to approx $1300 usd. You can use email too for more info.

[@mikertronprimus1]

Thank you Chad! My wife is excited for the upcoming spring. We will email you then. xoxo @@HiddenSpringFarm

[@monicap9980]

Chad, if we came to stay, would I be able to bring my OES, Bailey??

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

@@monicap9980 so many people look for places that allow pets and most places don’t allow them. Us being a farm stay, we do allow pets. Usually dogs have the time of their life here cause of all the private space to roam plus our two doggos get to play with new friends. We’ve been using Airbnb as the booking app cause it’s just so easy. We have a two night minimum, 20% discount for a week booking. You can always email me too with more questions.

[@jennifersutton3115]

I heard the owl 🦉 thanks for sharing.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha nice, someone said it was the sound of a great horned owl, I’ve never been able to see it though.

[@AncientHermit]

👍👍👍😊😉

[@ChrisSwygard-x6m]

How do we rent a stay there?

[@itsthebonster]

Your apples look great! How do you keep a lot of them from getting eaten by bugs?

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I don’t know really, we didn’t do anything. Lots of leaves were skeletized by Japanese beetles but the fruit are solid. Biggest issue is fruit dropping to the ground but we just gives those to the chickens and pigs.

[@frogmoonmama]

Can you get a volunteer workers from Helpex or Workaway? I used to have a farm in Laos I did that with.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Never heard of it, something to look into.

[@SuzanneWho]

@@HiddenSpringFarm Do you have a college nearby that has an Ag course? You might get some volunteers and they might get credit on their grades? It would be an apprentice situation. ❤️😎🐈‍⬛

[@pamelazuill8438]

Well have had an opportunity to see first hand that Canadians eat a lot more than americans!

[@HELENGodLoves]

Who groom Mollie and Olive?? Great job 👏🎉 One day when our true President takes office again I plan to bring our family for a vacation.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Haha not me, they look like a million bucks eh. I took them to a pro groomer 😉

[@paulawilkerson8312]

Ur wife is beautiful

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I just saw her blush reading this. Thanks so much 😊

[@pamelazuill8438]

Well first of all YOUR GUEST SHOULD NOT BE COMING WITH ANIMALS! YOU DON'T TAKE SAND TO THE BEACH!

[@objektivone3209]

I only subscribe to one American homestead youtuber, the rest I have unsubscribed. I got you from Canada and a handful of geniuses from the UK. It generally seems that KZbin homesteaders commitment to video documentation takes up too much of their daily hours. If you take KZbin out of your equation, you'll have plenty of time for the farm. So what's it gonna be?
